The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of:

  • A Sound waves
  • B Gravitational field
  • C Magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor
  • D Electric field
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor
Explanation: The right-hand rule is a mnemonic technique used to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced around a straight current-carrying conductor, with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow.

The work done by a force is zero when:

  • A Force is maximum
  • B Force and displacement are parallel
  • C Displacement is maximum
  • D Force and displacement are perpendicular
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Force and displacement are perpendicular
Explanation: Work is defined as W = Fd cos(theta). When the angle between force and displacement is 90 degrees, cos(90) equals zero, so no work is done regardless of the magnitude of force or displacement.

Resonance occurs when the frequency of an external force matches the:

  • A Speed of a system
  • B Natural frequency of a system
  • C Wavelength of a system
  • D Amplitude of a system
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Natural frequency of a system
Explanation: Resonance occurs when a system is driven at its natural frequency, the frequency at which it tends to oscillate in the absence of external forces, resulting in a dramatic increase in amplitude.

Which of these waves cannot travel through a vacuum?

  • A Sound waves
  • B Radio waves
  • C X-rays
  • D Light waves
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Sound waves
Explanation: Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate through the vibration of particles. This is why astronauts cannot hear sound directly in space.
